ABSTRACT. The food sector depends on consumers and their social behavior. Since currently more and more consumers seek healthy products, exotic fruits have been increasingly on demand, with great opportunities for innovation. Current study developed a ready-to-drink mixed beverage made from hydrosoluble soybean extract, coconut water and umbu pulp. Four formulations were prepared with two proportions of umbu pulp (25 and 30%) and soluble solids (17 and 25º Brix). Formulations were submitted to chemical, physicochemical, microbiological and sensory analyses. The beverage was prepared with 25% of umbu pulp and the soluble solids were standardized to 25º Brix with commercial sugar for the highest scores in sensory attributes, overall impression and purchase intent. The four formulations presented pH, acidity, moisture, total sugar, vitamin C and microbiological results in accordance with current legislation.Keywords: innovation, mixture, mixed drink, physicochemical, microbiological, sensory acceptance.Desenvolvimento de uma bebida mista à base de extrato hidrossolúvel de soja, água de coco e polpa de umbu RESUMO. O setor alimentício é regrado pelo seu mercado consumidor e seu comportamento social. Hoje em dia, cada vez mais os consumidores buscam produtos saudáveis e os frutos exóticos estão sendo cada vez mais utilizados, visando uma oportunidade de inovação. O trabalho objetivou desenvolver uma bebida mista à base de extrato hidrossolúvel de soja feito com água de coco e polpa de umbu 'pronta para beber'. Foram preparadas quatro formulações com duas proporções de polpa de umbu (25 e 30%) e sólidos solúveis (17 e 25º Brix). As formulações foram submetidas à caracterização química, físico-química, microbiológica e avaliação sensorial. A bebida elaborada com 25% de polpa de umbu e 25º Brix obteve as maiores notas nos atributos sensoriais, assim como na impressão global e intenção de compra. As quatro formulações apresentaram pH, acidez, umidade, açúcares totais, vitamina C e resultados microbiológicos de acordo com a legislação vigente.Palavras-chave: inovação, mistura, bebida mista, físico-química, microbiológica, aceitação sensorial.
